No more free eats for rides: Uber has decided to terminate free loyalty programmes
As of 1 November 2022, users will need to pay a membership subscription
Uber, the world’s largest ride-hailing company, is ending its free loyalty programme, Uber Rewards, in order to concentrate on its membership-based Uber One service.
As a kind of frequent ride programme, Uber originally introduced the rewards programme in 2018 and allowed users to accrue points for each dollar spent on rides or Uber Eats delivery.
Uber launched Uber One in November 2021, offering subscribers benefits like 5% off select rides or delivery orders and limitless $0 delivery fees on restaurant orders over $15 and shopping goods over $30 at $9.99/mo.
Uber Rewards will end permanently on 1 November 2022, according to a corporate update.
Users could receive one point for every dollar spent on Uber Pool, two points for every dollar spent on UberX, and three points for every dollar spent on Premium through the Uber Rewards programme.
